Tuesday, April 11, 2006A Radeon X200/X300 (even integrated -- AND EVEN the mobile chipset) is better than a GeForce FX 5500, yes -- by far. |

Tuesday, April 11, 2006Hah, good, cause I just installed it. It came with my comp, but I was witty. Anyway, thats done. Now to fix the memory. Says I only have 382 MB RAM when I KNOW I have 512. |

Tuesday, April 11, 2006Yea, it has a HyperMemory thingy (If you read the stuff I posted earlier) of 128 MB, and if you take 128 MB from 512 I guess you get that. |

Says I only have 382 MB RAM when I KNOW I have 512. 512 - 382 = 130 which probably means you're sharing 128 Mb of main memory as video memory. Long live HyperMemoryâ„¢. |

Wednesday, April 12, 2006*laughing out loud* maybe, but I try to get my point across. Anyway, im glad that I can play games now without ANY problems and I can play old Cinamatics that I couldn't play with my old card, WAY better now. RAM is my only problem and thats going to get taken care of so yea. If there's anything else thats cheap that I can get ill look into it. |

Wednesday, April 12, 2006*ponders* it has DX 9.0 and OpenGL. I know this cause I ran the tests on my computer. It also has AGP Texture Acceleration. |

Wednesday, April 12, 2006My tests weren't based on the chart at all. That was just something extra I remembered seeing one day. My tests were based on PERSONAL benchmarks I did with a X200 integrated and my GeforceFX 5800 like I already mentioned.
An X200 integrated beat my GeforceFX 5800
